Falun Dafa, more popularly known as Falun Gong, is an ancient Chinese practice for the spirit, body, and mind. Its traditional practices is made up meditation and soft, slow movements. It’s an honest structure to refine the three aspects of your being: spirit, body, and mind. The central theme consists of the universal principals of tolerance, benevolence, and truthfulness.

In 1922, Mr. Li Hongzhi first introduced this practice in China. By word-of-mouth, this practice has gained more and more followers throughout the years. Now it is being practiced by hundreds of millions of people in China and by million more others in the whole world. Mr. Li Hongzhi is considered as Teacher or Master of this healing art in Chinese tradition. He does not accept any money or material gifts nor does he receive special treatment from anyone. All he wants is to make this beneficial practice available to anyone without conditions and terms. From time to time, he is invited to deliver lectures in various countries like Switzerland, Canada, and the United States.

Falun Gong can be performed by people of all backgrounds, cultures, and ages. It is currently being practiced in more than 70 countries across the world. A majority of practitioners have reported improvement in their energy, health, and stress level.

Some of the exercises included in Falun Gong include:

1. The Falun Standing Stance

This stance involves a relaxing meditation that’s made up of four wheel-holding positions and is made up of easy to do movements. This stance can help speed up the opening of your entire body.

2. Buddha Revealing A Thousand Hands

The aim is to stretch the body so that the blocked areas of the body are freed up. Energy under and within the body is activated by the stretching. This allows the energy to briskly flow and automatically eat up a considerable amount of energy from the universe.

3. The Great Heavenly Circuit

This exercise can enable the energy in your body to flow over large areas. This is an intermediate-level exercise.

4. Strengthening Divine Powers

This is a multi-purpose tranquil civilization exercise that reinforces the gong potency and divine powers through the use of Buddha hand signs.

5. Penetrating The Two Cosmic Extremes

This exercise courses the energy of the universe with the energy of your body in order to intermingle with each other inside your body. In this exercise, a great deal of energy is forced out that give you the power to purify your body. It also clears out blockages in the passages under your feet and opens the crest on top of your head.
